è Tonight is our York County Republican Mass Meeting at Grafton Middle/High School Auditorium (turn at light opposite WaWa on Hwy. 17 to get to GMS/GHS campus). Please park on the Middle School side (to the right when entering campus) as that auditorium door is the one that will be unlocked. The registration/check-in begins at 6 PM with the meeting beginning at 7:30 PM. You MUST be in the registration/check-in line by 7:30 PM to be able to be checked in, vetted, and receive your ballots. If you are late (not in line by 7:30), you will not be allowed to register. (I suggest you arrive early as over 200 voters Pre-Filed to vote tonight and “walk-ins” are welcome to add to that number!) Just as in a “regular” election, you must show your valid Voter ID Card or a valid photo ID (drivers license, military ID, school ID, etc.) that shows your name and picture. There will be two (2) check-in desks in the inside “lobby” area next to the auditorium that will be marked by signs: one for those who submitted their Pre-File Form by 5 PM on 8 March (and have not been contacted by the Credentials Committee as not being a registered voter), and another table for those who “walk-in” tonight to have their York County voter registration checked via computer or phone call to York County Registrar by Credentials Committee Chairman. Those “walk-ins” must sign the Republican Affirmation Statement document at the check-in table to be able to vote. (Those who filed a form already signed this on their Pre-File Form.) There is a voluntary $5 fee to help defray the costs of this Mass Meeting (advertising, printing, supplies, etc.) that may be paid by cash or check at the registration table.

è At the time you are checked in, you will receive your ballots. There is no early voting, and you cannot give your ballot to someone else if you decide to leave before the voting begins, as only one ballot per voter is allowed, and proxies are not allowed. If you leave before the voting time, you forfeit your ability to vote. Keep your ballots in your hands at all times as these are your voting credentials. If you lose your ballot packet, you may NOT get another one. Please bring a pen or pencil with you to mark your ballot.

è Some people have questioned my recent forwarded emails from the candidates for Chairman or their supporters. Below is the reason this is allowed to let everyone know I continue to strive to “follow the rules”, as I have throughout my term as YCRC Chairman:

As is normal for any GOP Unit Chairman when requested by a candidate, candidate’s supporter, or issue representative, information may be forwarded to the Unit’s membership and other Republicans. Doing so shows neither support nor endorsement, as is evidenced by my comment, “YCRC Member Sheriff Danny Diggs requested I send this to you.” It is merely passing along information. It is not the Unit Chairman’s responsibility to inform opposing sides/views of others’ requests – that’s their campaign’s job to be “on the ball” and thinking about how to get their message out to voters; each campaign has different timelines and methods for advertising. It is not the Unit Chairman’s duty to act as a “go between” among campaigns.

Regarding the “legal” question, the RPV Party Plan states in Article VII (Official Committees), Section I (Endorsement of Candidates), “An official committee shall not endorse…any candidate who is running for a Republican nomination for public office unless that candidate is unopposed for that nomination…Nothing in this Section shall be construed…to prevent a member or officer of an Official Committee, as an individual, from endorsing a candidate in a contested nomination.” As such, a Unit Chairman may endorse candidates legally, as long as he/she is acting as an individual, not speaking on behalf of the Unit Committee as a whole. This is why the names of Unit Chairman are often listed as supporters for a candidate but never the Committee as a whole:

“Atlantic County Republican Committee Chairman John Smith endorses…” but never “The Atlantic County Republican Committee endorses…”

« Remember – the YCRC is an Official Unit of the Republican Party of Virginia and, as such, is required to follow the RPV Plan of Organization, known as the RPV Party Plan. (just like a Charter in other organizations) You can find the RPV Party Plan on www.rpv.org .

I look forward to seeing you all at tonight’s York County Republican Mass Meeting for voting and to hear some of the candidates for the Republican nomination for US Senate and other scheduled guest speakers.

Fellow York Patriots, A few months ago when Shirley Charles called me and asked for my support in her running for Chair of the York County Republican Committee, I asked her why was she running. She said servant leadership in local government was her dream. She went on to state she believed our county needed principled leadership focused on what she now calls her 3-point plan. Shirley is a principled, experienced leader, desiring and choosing to serve the people of this county. I ask you come to the county’s Mass Meeting tomorrow evening and VOTE FOR SHIRLEY CHARLES, CHAIR, YORK COUNTY REPUBLICAN COMMITTEE!

God Bless, David Phillips

***************************************Dear Fellow York County Residents, Over the last few months, I have enjoyed listening to the concerns and comments of my fellow York County residents. As a result of our conversations, I have become better educated about the issues that are important to you and to our County. Attached to this email you will find my introduction letter, resume, and flyer. It briefly discusses some my leadership accomplishments, my education, and the vision I have for the York County Republican Committee. Tuesday, March 25, 2014 is York County's Republican Mass Meeting. At this meeting, York County residents will determine the direction the wish to see the York County Republican Party take for the next 2 years. I am asking you to come to this meeting and show your support for me as your next York County Republican Committee Chair. If I am elected, I will dedicate my time, talents, efforts, and education to ensure we establish an environment where our ideals and values flourish, while securing victory for Republican candidates. Furthermore, I will commit to establishing an atmosphere where all members of the committee are respected and valued. Before I close, I want to thank all of you for taking the time to speak with me over the past few months. For those of you, who are campaigning on my behalf, I cannot thank you enough for your trust and hard work. Your hard work is very much appreciated. I hope to see you all on Tuesday at Grafton High/Middle School Auditorium. Registration begins at 6:00 pm and the meeting will start at 7:30 pm.

Lynda, could you please send this out to all of those who are either pre-registered to attend the mass meeting, requesting committee membership, or election as delegate?

Thanks,

Danny Diggs

Message from Sheriff Danny Diggs

The York County Republican Mass Meetingwill be on March 25th to elect the new Committee Chairman.

I will be voting for ROBIN MILEWSKI as York County Republican Committee Chairman and I am asking you to voter for her, too!

Why you may ask?

I am supporting Robin because she is running for the right reasons.

She was not asked to run by anyone and was not recruited! She decided on her own accord. She saw the need for someone to step forward and realized that she had the skills necessary to get the job done.

She does not have any hidden agenda or cause of her own other than wanting to bring York County Republicans together in an effort to get Republicans elected.

Robin is not and will not be the puppet of any special interest group! She will stand on her own strong beliefs and will be guided by the Virginia Republican Creed (found at the end of this email.)

Robin is uniquely qualified to serve as our chairman.

Some of her accomplishments:

served as State President of VFW Ladies Auxiliary, representing over 9,000 members;

started a Thrift Shop on Langley Air Force Base to help military families and retirees”,

and volunteering hundreds of hours as Mrs. Claus within our local community.

She most recently has served as the York County Republican Committee Secretary when no one else was willing.

Lastly, I know the kind of person that she is. I know that Robin is honest, hard working, and has the kind of integrity that we need in political service.

Again, I would hope that you would join me and many others, and

VOTE FOR ROBIN MILEWSKI FOR COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN!

Thanks again for taking the time to participate in our political process.

Sincerely,

J. D. “Danny” Diggs

Sheriff of York County & Poquoson

Virginia Republican Creed

We Believe:

That the free enterprise system is the most productive supplier of human needs and economic justice,

That all individuals are entitled to equal rights, justice, and opportunities and should assume their responsibilities as citizens in a free society,

That fiscal responsibility and budgetary restraints must be exercised at all levels of government,

That the Federal Government must preserve individual liberty by observing Constitutional limitations,

That peace is best preserved through a strong national defense,

That faith in God, as recognized by our Founding Fathers is essential to the moral fiber of the Nation.

The purpose is to elect a chairman, committee members, and delegates to our state convention.

Please come meet the candidates and vote!

Examples of "Chicago politics" last week in Virginia!

1)"Last night, the purge of conservatives in the Republican Party of Virginia continued- as duly filed delegates from Campbell County were "slated-off" in yet another attempt at Establishment control. As with previous attempts, they invited in known Democrats to aide them in their bid for power- denying numerous delegates the opportunity to go to the Fifth District and State Conventions."

2)"They even excluded dedicated members of the Richmond GOP committee, including the hardest working member of the party, a campaigner so effective you could track where he was responsible for the ground campaigns by the anomolously higher Republican voter turnout for the precincts."

3)"The Republican Party of Virginia Beach has not slated delegates since 1983, as it is a generally understood practice that disenfranchises voters and unnecessarily limits participation in the party."

They're spending millions -- mostly on myths and scare tactics -- to try to discourage people from getting the affordable, quality care they deserve. A Koch brothers' group alone has spent $27 million since August.

Robert, we know the only thing that beats that kind of money is real, on-the-ground organizing. So we're going all in for the next 17 days.

We're finalizing our budget on Monday -- and we have an aggressive goal.
